Do you want to be part of a venture studio and help solve some of society's biggest challenges?

We are a venture studio and we are a family of impact funds. We partner with incredible entrepreneurs, universities, and corporates to create solutions that have a positive impact on society and the planet. We have our own impact investment funds that enable us to execute fast and focused with co-founders and strategic partners. We focus on building ventures within health and well-being or sustainable energy.

At KRING, we seek people who are inspired and driven by the challenges of our society and never stop working towards the better. We seek people that thrive in uncertainty, speed, and can turn problems into valuable solutions and scalable business models. We may not be able to change the world on our own. But we can do ours to take steps in the right direction through the ventures we build. That is why we believe that the best way to predict the future is to create it.

This is where your role comes in

We are looking for our new venture building partner to run one-two parallel venture building projects at any given time – with a total of 3 – 4 projects run per year. This entails (among a lot of other exciting tasks); Problem validation (user interviews, desk research, market sizing, partnership exploration, ideation, concept development, business model development), market experimentation and validation, solution experimentation and validation, pretotyping, and MVP development and marketing as well as initial growth hacking. Additionally, you will be participating in the continual development of our venture-building processes, tools, templates, and playbooks.

You will take on an active role as a strategic sparring partner (Advisory and/or Board participation) for several of the portfolio companies we build. In addition, you will participate in our internal governance processes and decision meetings, incl. reporting on the progress of own projects and ventures.

It is important that you continuously maintain general domain insights and updated knowledge on SDG3 and/or SDG7 and continue research on potential Opportunity Spaces for the next venture projects.

To succeed in the role, you will help build and gain the trust of an excellent team and people around you incl. identification and on-boarding of new Entrepreneurs-in-residence for projects, facilitation of workshops with potential Entrepreneurs-in-residence, drive potential corporate co-creation projects and/or university collaboration as well as doing a lot of continuous networking (start-ups, co-founders, hubs and communities, corporate partners, experts, investors, VCs).

Responsibilities:

• Leading and hands-on driving venture building projects delivering impactful and valuable new ventures

• Team lead

• Progress reporting (incl. project progress, metrics, budget, resources)

• Capability Building in KRING (processes, tools, templates, skills, systems, playbooks)

Requirements:

• Vast hands-on experience from building start-ups and/or driving innovation projects – you have founded more than one company before

Working at KRING:

Our team is small and experienced, and our network is big and powerful. We are a super ambitious bunch and perhaps some people would consider us crazy. We meditate with brain scanners, we discuss various tests for optimal health, and wonder why the human race is destroying the earth and if in the future an AI would put the human race under administration.

However, we want to take part in ensuring that humans actually are a force for good, for each other, and toward this beautiful planet. We start with ourselves: We have weekly runs, CrossFit in the park, healthy eating, sustainable sessions, and of course also the normal casual talks and loads of fun.
